Lyrics
This is a fun and provocative song, supporting "I'm still here", a great movie. Really great. Well, there has being some controversy around the other movie dividing the awards, and I don´t intend to make a statement here, but rather transform it to music. Wouldn't it be a better world if we all could do that? Anyway, hope you get the humor of it. I took a small lyrical liberty to sing it as We are still here, instead of I'm still here, which is the correct English name of the movie.

How was it?
"Fantastic, great!"
Better than that Emilia Pérez flick, right?
"DAMNNN"
We are still here from Brazil, though.
"Yeah, we are still here—best movie I’ve seen in so long."
You gotta stand the fuck up—
We are still here from Brazil!
Verse 1
ok, okay
Better than all the rest
We are still here from Brazil, we see clear, throw your bids away gold medal where the kids are from
(hu!)
We Are Still Here
Bro, the importance of a good actors and actresses
Fernanda Torres, OMG
She is not the best acting of this year, but in a long time, you feel me?
You see it? Nah, you feel it in your bones— (for sure)
The emotional journey, bro, did you know it’s a true story?
We Are Still Here
There’s a version of that movie that’s slow, long,
But the casting makes it feel so real, so real.
They take that extra step to convey real human emotions,
With real nuances, you see what I’m saying?
Not caricatures, not tropes—
We Are Still Here
I feel like any movie could go any way,
It’s always about the execution, bro.
Like, imagine I’m like, “Yo, what’s a movie about?
What’s Godfather about?”
“Oh, it’s about a family, drugs, selling in the streets,
Shit like that.”
Uhh, so yeah—how many movies about that?
But the execution of it…
Right. (boom!)
That’s what I’m talking about, bro.
Chorus: melodic
Ah, the Oscars
fuck the globe (fuck it)
Ah, the Oscars
fuck the globe (ayy ayy)
Ah, the Oscars
fuck the globe (fuck it)
(fuck it)
Verse 2
And then I said, “Emilia Pérez—
It was an impossible artwork to watch.”
The worst movie you could ever imagine—
Songs that dishonor the Spanish language,
Songs that insult the Mexican culture.
You try to puzzle in your head,
“What’s going on?”
Although I made the mistake of watching it to figure it out,
The reality of the matter doesn’t matter anymore. (anymore)
Get outta here (damm fool)
Here’s what’s pissing me off about Emilia Pérez
They have an amount of songs,
An amount of songs—
I don’t need to tell you, but you need to know it’s a musical,
A musical.
And here’s the bad part of it—
The French direction is so disrespectful,
You understand me?
Imagine you’re making a movie about Mexican culture,
In the Spanish language,
And you don’t even have a native directional team running the show. (fuck that)
As I talk about this, the fury inside of me just builds up—
Zoey and Selena are great, actually,
Zoey looks like leading, not supporting,
But the whole concept of exploring a nation’s trauma
With no care for its heritage is infuriating.
Fuck that movie, just getting awards because…
You know why.
I do.
And it’s an important subject, but it’s not like that…
Not like that, bro.
Chorus: melodic
Ah, the Oscars
fuck the globe (fuck it)
Ah, the Oscars
fuck the globe (ayy ayy)
Ah, the Oscars
fuck the globe (fuck it)
(fuck it)
